I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

“But… but that old man was talking about the word ‘soul,’” Leng Zhan muttered.

"They're both from the same Merfolk race, how could they just say that the souls of their own kind are monsters? Doesn't that hurt people's feelings?" Ji Zhaoling rolled her eyes at him.

While listening to their nonsense, Yun Qingyi had Liangmeng try to sense the scattered merman souls.

Liangmeng didn't say much, nor did she ask Yun Qingyi and the others why they were so sure they could sense those souls. Following Yun Qingyi's instructions, they searched step by step for possible traces in the vast top floor.

No matter how I look, I feel like the direction is wrong, and the location is both very clear and very vague.

“Liangmeng,” Yun Qingyi suddenly spoke, “Do you still remember what you told us about those things?”

Liangmeng paused slightly, trying hard to recall, and seemed to have such a memory. "I remember, but I can't remember clearly."

Yun Qingyi didn't care and said to herself, "I think that the things you mentioned before, including those black tentacles and such that appeared in your room before, are all monsters formed from the souls of those merfolk."

"What does Sister mean..." Yun Qingrou's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Yun Qingyi.

“Those things may not only be on this top floor. The fact that they can go down to the first floor proves that they can roam freely in this palace.”

Liangmeng suddenly realized, "No wonder I always felt something was off and couldn't pinpoint the exact location. It turns out... it's always been right beside us."

After saying that, the mermaid princess's eyes narrowed, and she used her power to destroy the flower bed in the distance. However, the destroyed flower bed did not turn into powder as expected. Instead, it turned into a pool of dark liquid that flowed everywhere.

Wherever the liquid went, it left a sticky puddle, like snot.

Ugh... As they watched, Ji Zhaoling and Leng Zhan both vomited.

The mermaid princess and Ruan Qi turned slightly pale, not from fright, but simply from disgust, though not as exaggerated as Leng Zhan and the others.

Yun Qingyi stared coldly at the lump of liquid, and instantly lightning flashed as she struck it.

In a short while, the liquid disappeared completely.

“It works.” He said casually, then began to look around.

"Good Dream, can you sense anywhere else?"

Upon hearing the sound, Liangmeng glanced around and immediately said, "Senior, everything here is safe, so feel free to smash it."

"So many?!" Ji Zhaoling exclaimed in shock.

"It's not that there are many, but rather that they possess extensibility and self-division. The one that Senior Qingyi just cleaved away was, at most, similar to a leg," Liangmeng explained.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhaoling swallowed hard. Seeing that the others had already started working, he resigned himself to his fate and began to demolish the place, revealing the true form of those things.

After who knows how long the commotion had gone on, the palace was completely unrecognizable. When they reached the place where Uncle Shang was, he had already disappeared without a trace, and even his bones on the ground had vanished.

Yun Qingyi was not surprised at all. After all, Uncle Shang, as a soul from a thousand years ago, had been able to exist in this strange space for so long, waiting for them to arrive and find him.

From a certain perspective, it is also quite incredible.

Logically speaking, even if Uncle Shang's soul did not perish after his death, he would have become a monster and it would be impossible for him to remain so conscious and talk to them.

From another perspective, Tuso is indeed a remarkable person. Not only does he have a way to keep Uncle Shang's soul conscious, but he can also maintain it for such a long time. To be honest, she admires him quite a bit.

Thinking it over, Yun Qingyi destroyed the place directly, and a huge black shadow immediately formed there. Without any hesitation, Yun Qingyi identified the location of the black shadow's beard and threw the skill directly at its forehead.

After being bombarded by the crowd, the dark figure gradually shrank, seemingly transforming into a mermaid.

Seeing this, Yun Qingyi expressionlessly threw out a lightning storm, and the black shadow vanished instantly.
